4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2/3 cup (65g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Peanut Butter Swirl:
1 cup (260g) creamy peanut butter (not natural/oily)
1/3 cup (40g) confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3–4 tablespoons whole milk or heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch pan with parchment paper.
Make Brownie Batter:
2. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until well combined.
3. Add eggs and vanilla; whisk vigorously for 1–2 minutes until smooth and slightly thickened.
4. Sift in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined.
Make Peanut Butter Swirl:
5. In a separate bowl, mix peanut butter, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla. Add milk 1 tbsp at a time until smooth and pourable.
Assemble:
6. Spread two-thirds of the brownie batter into the pan.
7. Spoon all of the peanut butter mixture evenly on top.
8. Drop remaining brownie batter in dollops over the peanut butter layer.
9. Swirl gently with a knife or skewer.
Bake:
10. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
11. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. For clean slices, chill for 1 hour before cutting.
